Latest update: I could possibly force the spring bar through the extra link but it would definitely require hammering it and would deform the link. Spare generic GMT oyster bracelet from ebay arrived, what a disappointment...
1. I was hoping to at least cannibalize the end link so it could replace my dive extension, only problem is the generic also had a dive extension (even though it was advertised as a GMT replacement not a Sub replacement...) 2. Then I thought, well maybe the spring bar on this one is thinner and will fit my original extra link. No on that either, as the included spring bar was indeed thinner, but when used on my original bracelet went through the hole in the clasp and stuck out awkwardly. 3. Finally I thought, let's try putting one of the generic extra links on my watch and see if the original spring bar will fit through that. So then I proceed to try and remove one of the links only to find out that the screw spins freely without actually coming out. Conclusion: don't buy cheap generic stuff from ebay... back it goes So I'm back to looking for the magic end link, or at least finding a thinner spring bar. I have to believe there is a 1.5mm to 1.8mm spring bar out there that'll fit an oyster clasp properly. |
